A new study issued by researchers from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, reported that women soccer players are considerably less likely to fake an injury on the field as compared to men soccer players.
In 2010, Dr. Rosenbaum, an assistant professor of family and community medicine at Wake Forest; and his colleagues studied videotapes international men's soccer matches and established that there were an average of 11.26 apparent injuries per soccer match out of which only 7.2% of the apparent injuries were 'definite' injuries – i.e. the soccer player withdrew from the game within five minutes or blood was visible.
Performing the same analysis on women's soccer, the results indicated that the apparent injuries had an average of 5.74 per game, from which 13.7% of these injuries were definite; twice the proportion as compared to men's soccer.
